So I made it to the hospital.... I was really hoping NOT to end up here but I just don't seem to be getting what I want these days! However, it is a blessing to live in a place where we can go the ER and be treated with some of the best care in the world! As I said in my last post, I ended up with a severe flare when I got home from Slovakia. I don't think SK had much to do with it since I had some changes before I left. It just didn't get out of wack until I got over the ocean. I got severely dehydrated Sunday night and went to the ER. They asked me to pee and I couldn't. I quickly got 2 bags of fluid, potassium, morphine, and much more! I had no idea dehydration could hurt so bad! I am on IV steroids and I am hoping to switch back to oral steroids tomorrow and go home. The fat face should be making an appearance soon! There is still hope to get my UC under control. The next meds are a little different but are effective for most people. They are actually the same meds my dad takes to keep his body from rejecting his new (now ten years old!) liver. Keep praying that God will be glorified and for the doctors to have wisdom! I have had some awesome docs here in Charlotte! Thanks!

Hospital Days

Hard to Swallow
When the Lord's will is different from what your heart desires it is sometimes hard to swallow. I've been praying for months not to have another UC flare. BTW If you get tired of reading about my UC you might as well quit reading now:) While in Slovakia I started having another flare. It was pretty mild at first but has now developed into my worst flare yet! I went to the doctor today to get checked out. I am back on prednisone (joy!) as well as a couple of other medications to try and get everything calmed down. He also thinks I might have C. Diff. which is a bacterial infection. So I am being treated for that as well. This is very hard for me. I'm struggling to worship the Lord. I feel abandoned. I feel like he wants me to suffer. Why couldn't he just heal me? Why me? I know this may be dramatic but these are my real feelings today. I almost feel too tired to pray. If I pray, will it make a difference? I know that these are lies from this world. It is so hard to overcome the patterns of this world sometimes. I am writing this so that you will pray for me. For healing. For mercy. For joy. For truth to fill my heart. Thanks:)
